I'm not really a twitter guy.. But i'm not sure. Believe me I would love nothing more than Ronnie calling the wig an asshole but I think he is calling the fans/blockparty attendees assholes....but not positive....

Wait, I haven't listened in a long time, the Block Party is over for good? What caused this, Howard I'm guessing?

Yes, Howard's complaints reached a peak around the Atlantic city block party. He railed into Ronnie and Shuli about the block party pretty hard..... Wondering why he needs it in his life and why his limo driver is a star. He wanted the show to be done. Shuli said they had commitments they have to fulfill for a certain time, and I guess that time is up after Chicago.

That still makes no sense at all. So can Shuli no longer do stand up, or this only in regard to Ronnie/JD? How is a stand up gig different from a "Block Party" where Ronnie MC's stand ups? I have to say, JD should have tried to stick with Artie, he has a kid basically doing JD's type of job for his new show named Shane, I guarantee you he'd be doing better in that situation.

Shuli can still do stand up. I think Howard's issue is when it starts to feel like a traveling howard stern road show...... like if too many people from the show are involved and it's ronnie the limo driver ("from the howard stern show") along with jd and maybe a wack pack member or two depending on the location. Howard ignored it at first and I think he just thought it would run it's natural course and die off. But once JD replaced Scott, the block party really took off and they started selling out venues. That's when Howard laid down the hammer on them.

It's not an accident that there is no mention of Howard Stern in the official promotion.

For what it's worth, I side with Shuli and Ronnie on this one. Howard likes to whine about how he doesn't see David Letterman's (or anybody else's) producer or security guy or limo driver out doing talk shows or promotions or events, but the major difference is that Howard is the only show that includes his producer and staff as an integral part of the show's on-air content.

The most interesting segment of the show in recent memory was probably that girl Laura's call about JD. And it sounds like JD didn't know she would be calling in and did not OK it in advance. What would the show be like if JD and Ronnie refused to come on the air any more? The show would sink to an even worse level that it is right now. Let Howard make his terrible and unfunny comments about a few news items and then try to fill in the rest of the time with interviews with 80s and 90s celebrities.

Gary, JD, Stuttering John, KC, Artie, Jackie, Scott the engineer and all the other cast of wack pack members are a huge part of what made the show great. Howard is the centerpiece, but without the other characters, he is nothing.

Anyways, RIP Ronnie's block party. It sounds like a complete shitfest, lol, but it should have been allowed to die of it's own natural causes.

The Howard TV intro is accurate. Howard is the ringmaster of a circus of characters including both staff and whack packers. Contrary to what he'd like to believe, he's not the entertainment, the guests and interaction among a group of people is. The worst part of the show is when he just sits there and talks to himself and Robin. Howard's skill is in recognizing which goofball is going to be funny and being good at manipulating people into being entertaining. That's his "talent". He's not a good interviewer, he's not particularly funny w/o writers or someone else to goof on.
